A SHOW OF STATESMANSHIP.
There ia no question but that John
Sherman has long been almost the soli
tary representative of statesmanship in
the senate. The great men, whoae col
league he was through the days of re
construction and legislation upon the
issues left by the war, no longer are
seen in the senate chamber, while the
men who occupy their seats have shown
neither the same mental grasp nor in
fluence. The country listens when
Sherman speaks, as long experience,
close study and unflinching patriotism
give him qualifications for leadership.
His speech in the senate last Tuesday
should be read by every voter in -the
land, especially by the constituents of
(be silver senators, who just now are
lilocking legislation. Sherman emphat
ically declared :
"It is a disgrace to our civilization, it
is a disgrace to the country itself that
ive Are now expending $30,000,000 a year
more than the receipts of the govern
ment, and that the congress now in ses
sion, with both houses fully armed with
power to furnish the revenue, is idle and
refuses to act. I will vote for a tax on
tea, on coffee, on anything in order to
meet this deficiency, and I say that if
The present congress does adjourn in the
face of the declarations now made to us,
of the official reports sent to us, of
statements by the president of the
United States, and of the secretary of
the treasury, that we are now going on
day by day like a careless spendthrift,
to involve the country in debt, Belling
bonds when it is the duty of congress at
once to supply the revenue, that such
action will be shameful."
Later he declared that "any private
citizen who would preserve such a course
in bis financial affairs, however rich he
might be, would soon lose his credit and
hia reputation for solvency and good
sense." It is time for the senate to give
beed to these warning words, and for
the crowd who are preventing' tariff leg
islation to note the universal disap
proval with which their action meets.
MAKE OUR RESOURCES KNOWN.
The enbject of immigration is one
which should interest the people of Ore
gon at the present time. Over in Wash
ington the newspapers are discussing
the best means of inducing immigration,
and a state board has been formed, with
the end in view of making Washington
and its resources known wherever there
V people who are thinking of changing
homes. Only through organized efforts
can any great results in this direction be
obtained. The' Real Estate Exchange
of The Dalles is doing a good work in
sending to people in the East a pamph
let descriptive of Wasco county. No
large amount of money was collected for
this purpose, but the sum obtained has
been judiciously nsed.
The Northwest is but in the infancy of
development. But a small portion of
onr area is occupied in comparison to
the thousands of acres whose soil has
never been broken. Manufacturing in
terests, for which we have abundant
facilities, cannot reach much develop
ment until the country is more gener
ally settled. The desirability of induc
ing immigration being admitted, the
only question is how best to obtain the
desired results. The Real Estate Ex
change has made a good beginning. Its
immigration movement should be aided
both financially and otheiwise. Wher
ever it is thought the sending of pamph
lets would work any good, the names
and localities should be handed to the
members ' of the Exchange. Wasco
county offers manifold attractions to the
home-seeker, and when our resources
are advertised and understood abroad, a
decided increase in our population will
follow. " '
For the fourth week in January the
number of business failures throughout
the United States was 393 ; for the cor
responding week of 1895,312; in 1894,
340; in 1893, 271, and in 1892 it was 279.
The Democratic tariff bill- has been in
operation nearly eighteen months, and
yet we were told at the time of its pas
sage that a few months would Bhow its
good workings. The business of the
country is demoralized, and will be un
til this nniquitous measure is superseded
by a tariff bill of Republican enactment.
The election of delegates in the South
is favorable so far to McKinley. The
seventh congressional district in Mis
souri instructed its delegates to the na
tional convention for him, while recent
reports, from Alabama indicate that he
will have eighteen votes of the twenty
two which represent the state. At this
early day it looks as if it will be McKin
ley against the field, though all conjec
tures of the candidates' relative strength
are made from insufficient data.
' The recommendations for the im
provement of the Willamette from Port
land to Eugene indicate that it might
be cheaper to build a new river between
the points named. But however great
the cost, the people of the upper Wil
lamette valley are entitled to have the
river made navigable at all seasons of
the year. An open river is the best
regulator of transportation charges.
While it was to be expected that the
Bayard resolution would take on a par
tisan coloring, yet its passage will meet
with approval. It would be well for our
ambassadors and ministers to learn that
they are to represent the nation, and
not a political party, especially when
that party is out of favor because of its
incapacity to govern.

In a recent editorial the Salem, Or.,
Independent says: "Time and again
have we seen Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy tried and never without the
most satisfactory results. Whenever we
see a person afflicted with hoarseness,
with a cough or cold, we invariably ad
vise them to get Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy ; and when, they do, they never
regret it. It always does the work, and
does it well." For sale by Blakeley &
